It Looks Like the Anti-Flynn Judge Could Defy Appeals Court and Keep This Clown Show Going

I’d have shot the fvck by this time and taken my chances.

[Wiser now]

Or possibility number three, threatened; either Sullivan personally, or his family, or even both.
Does Sullivan like to go hunting in Texas?
Obama needs Flynn silenced.In reality, so do the Democrats. So long as there is any possibility of further court proceedings, Flynn can’t tell what he knows.

Speculative speculation about rumors

What a way to scrounge a living

I said, on another thread, that Justice (?) Roberts just might declare the judge President of the United States.

[Robert A Cook PE]

You think he cares about being thought a fool? There is obviously a big reason they want to keep Flynn quiet and I fully expect Sullivan to keep it up.

Iran.
More specifically, Obama’s Iranian nuclear funding-extprtion-enriching-weapons program.

Iran was the center of Obama’s MidEast-Muslim foreign policy - Getting them the billions in gold, cash, and jewelry to continue to fund the government, their mullahs, and their nuclear program was Obama’s crown of 8 years of antisemitism, anti-Israeli and anti-US/UK negotiations and revisions to 80 years of MidEast work.
Flynn opposed the Iranian nuclear funding treaty, and knew what it was intended to do and how it was rammed through and with whom it was actually negotiated.

And Obama knew it, and Obama began his first meeting with Trump in December 2016 with a demand that Flynn be fired, and be ostracized. The pressure only got worse when Trump did not follow through as Obama demanded.

”Exactly what consequences would he suffer? “

Would you openly defy an order from a federal court? I would not be surprised if the court issued a warrant for my arrest by U.S. Marshall’s and I was forcibly produced to answer for contempt. We don’t see open contempt for our courts because it isn’t tolerated.

[Maris Crane]

I think he is waiting to find out from the Obummer appointee judge whether he has a chance at en banc success.

If that lowlife judge can get a majority to agree, he will tell Sullivan to go ahead with his scheme.

What a bunch of sicko POSs they are.

As you may know the old CSRS defined benefits retirement is no longer in existence. The government shifted over to FERS which provides benefits from three different sources: a Basic Benefit Plan, Social Security and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). In other words part of the pension is based on stock market returns and therefore the risk associated with withdrawals during periods of market declines.

From a retirement annuity perspective the new system is not as secure as the old one. That said, the early pension may still be an option, but I’m not sure about that.

Notice that the Flynn case is no longer the focus. Flynn and his counsel are now observers as the courts woof back and forth at each other.

Judge Sullivan is defending Berlin in the spring of ‘45.

ARCHIVES State Department admits deleting parts of briefing on Iran deal
Arutz Sheva ^ | 2/6/16 | Elad Benari / Posted by Eleutheria5

The State Department has admitted that an official intentionally deleted several minutes of video footage from a 2013 press briefing, where a top spokeswoman seemed to acknowledge misleading the press over the Iran nuclear deal, Fox News reported Wednesday.

“There was a deliberate request [to delete the footage] – this wasn’t a technical glitch,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said, in admitting that an unidentified official had a video editor “excise” the segment. The State Department had faced questions earlier this year over the block of missing tape from a December 2013 briefing. At that briefing, then-spokeswoman Jen Psaki was asked by Fox News’ James Rosen about an earlier claim that no direct, secret talks were underway between the U.S. and Iran – when, in fact, they were. Psaki at the time seemed to admit the discrepancy, saying, “There are times where diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress. This is a good example of that.”

Fox News later discovered, however, that this exchange was missing from the department’s official website and its YouTube channel. Eight minutes from the briefing, including the comments on the Iran deal, were edited out and replaced with a white-flash effect. ...... (Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com …

Impeach the idiot if he won’t follow a ruling from a higher court.

REFERENCE--- Obama's $1.3B giveaway to Iran was paid in cash Jan 22 and Feb 5 from a little-known fund administered by the US Treasury.The so-called Judgment Fund is made up of tax dollars Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed....

SOURCE: fiscaltreasury.gov. -----The Judgment Fund was established to pay court judgments and Justice Department compromise settlements of actual or imminent lawsuits against the government. It is administered by the Judgment Fund Section, which is a part of the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The Judgment Fund Internet Claims System (JFICS) is the application used to process all Judgment Fund claims.

The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation available to pay judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States. The Judgment Fund is also available to pay amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims arising under actual or imminent litigation, if a judgment on the merits would be payable from the Judgment Fund. The statutory authority for the Judgment Fund is 31 U.S.C. 1304.

If funds for paying an award are otherwise provided for in the appropriations of the defendant agency, the Judgment Fund may not pay an award. A federal agency may request that payment of an award be made on its behalf from the Judgment Fund only in those instances where funds are not legally available to pay the award from the agency's own appropriations.

Amounts paid vary significantly from year-to-year. Federal agencies are not required to reimburse the Judgment Fund except when cases are filed under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) or the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act).

Time to look into his banking history. This and many other judges are acting as though they are compromised. As citizens, we should know who is not performing their sworn duty to uphold the constitution and the laws of the country.

[gogeo]

Powell is very astute. No issue there.

I understand the hand wringing, but some perspective, please. When the DC Circuit granted the Writ, they specifically instructed Sullivan to explain his ruling in light of the DC Circuit precedent US v Fokker. That's a 2016 precedent.

Sullivan may drag it out as far as he can, but he effectively has nowhere to go.

[Robert357]

I think that Judge Sullivan should be impeached.

[SunkenCiv]

Sullivan’s chances of success are low, and any attempt to push forward now would only fossilize his already-bare anti-Trump and anti-Flynn bias. Sullivan’s better course of action would be to immediately grant the government’s motion to dismiss in a short order that framed his earlier rulings and his appointment of an amicus as a concern for transparency. Then, by feigning disgust over the brief Gleeson submitted, Sullivan could extricate himself from the swamp he created.

Thanks RACPE.

Judge Robert Wilkins - Obama appointee.

Sorry, folks. This case will stay open until after the election. The problem with the 3-judge ruling is that they did NOT institute a timetable for Sullivan to drop the case, which they should have done. Sullivan is not going to be impeached, which is his only peril, and all he has to do is to delay, delay, delay, as there is no precedent for dropping the case with such issues.

[usnavy_cop_retired]

A clean way out of this for Sullivan is to first grant the motion to withdraw the guilty plea, (Flynn’s pending motion from Jan. or Feb IIRC), then let the DOJ renew their motion to dismiss, (case is now active for litigation/trial). This then makes the DOJ have to re-affirm that they do not have a viable case.
